Little Dunmow

Little Dunmow is a medieval priory village that watched a new estate go up next door, outgrow it, declare independence and keep the postal address anyway. So most envelopes reading Little Dunmow land in Flitch Green, an estate named after a bacon contest, while the old village keeps the priory church, the river and the expression of a host whose house guest has started getting their post forwarded. The next estate down the valley keeps getting refused, which suits whoever moved in last.
